Ohio University to host American Red Cross blood drives

Ohio University will host three American Red Cross blood drives in August and September.

Donors are needed, and everyone who donates at the upcoming blood drives will receive special gifts from the American Red Cross. The dates for the blood drives at Ohio University’s Athens Campus are:

• Wednesday, Aug 31, in the Schoonover Center, Conference Room 380, from 2 -7 p.m. Blood donors will receive a $10 e-gift card to a merchant of their choice.
• Tuesday, Sept. 6, in the Baker University Center, Room 240/242 from 12 - 6 p.m. Blood donors will receive a limited-edition Red Cross t-shirt, while supplies last.
• Monday, Sept. 19, in the Baker University Center, Room 240/242, from 12 - 6 p.m. Blood donors will receive a free haircut coupon from Sport Clips.

Individuals who would like to donate are asked to make an appointment at this American Red Cross webpage.

Walk-ins are also welcome, but individuals who walk in without first scheduling an appointment generally have a longer wait time to donate.
